"3.5, actually" 2010-04-28
By Stacey M Smith (Fredericksburg, TEXAS)
I've had this machine for almost 3 years. It was wonderful when I first got it - smooth, quick stitches, well lighted, lots of stitch variety. I had done some large projects on it and was well pleased. Then a run of problems including the bobin case wasn't functioning properly (a nick in the plastic kept catching the thread) and most recently, the mechanism that moves the needle up and down froze. Three trips for service in three years is not ideal, even for a mid-prices machine. Fantastic when it's running properly.

  
"Great machine for the price." 2010-03-20
By J. Barnes (Texas)
I searched long and hard for this machine and it was the best price here on Amazon. It was a used one but like new except for the box and we always throw that away. So great deals when out of original box. I was skeptic at first but I will go and try this again.


"Low Quality--Low Reliability--Frequent Repairs" 2010-02-28
By c kelly (Dayton, OH)
Great when it works, but it's been to the repair shop (must ship it--cost & hassle) and now needs to go again and it's not even a year old. 1st time, it wouldn't sew a simple straight stitch unless you put it on zig-zag!! Now, it won't wind a bobbin--runs for 2 seconds and stops. Turn it off and back on, runs for 2 seconds and stops. Turn it off and back on, etc. Totally unreliable machine and a waste of money!

  
"Finally, a machine I can sew with!" 2010-01-14
By Margaret Corbett (New Fairfield, CT)
I have been limping along with an old, cranky machine for years. Finally, my husband bought me this machine for Christmas and I have been sewing every since! It is light and easily set up on the dining room table. It's quiet and easy to change settings. I did have one thread jam. My heart fluttered as I thought, "here it goes, the good times are over!!" but that was hasty. It has been working fine ever since.I am so glad to have a machine I can create and sew with.


"What can I say? It gives me Confidence!" 2010-01-12
By M. Davies (MI)
The only other machine I used before this one was my mom's old (1970s era) Singer Stylist. My goodness is this an upgrade! I was able to find it for an amazing deal somewhere other than Amazon, though I haven't seen that good of a price but on a used floor model since. You will not be disappointed with this machine. It powers through multiple layers, the see-through bobbin case is quite helpful for knowing when you're running low on the bobbin thread, and It is very intuitive and easy to use. I haven't had any troubles with it(I've had it for a year and a half.)

Bottom line: You'll love it!
